I didn't dislike it because it ignored the books (varied from the books is really an understatement). I dislike it because it was a bad movie, and internally inconsistent with itself. The actors were all fine; there is only so much they could do with that idiotic script.

I have faith the Dark Tower will get its proper due in a series on Netflix, Hulu, Starz or some other medium that can dedicate the time and talent to it. The less said about that movie the better. I'd rather talk about the good adaptations.

Man dressed as clown who offered children candy was celebrating his birthday and meant no harm, cops say

I just saw the trailer and have to give it an A+. I really want this one to be a perfect bookend to the last.

I am looking forward to the film, but I also have more than a little bit of concern. The sequel is going to be far harder to pull off than the first half. Since they didn't mix the kids and adults as is done in the book, nearly the whole tale has to be pulled off by the adults. It is hard to...

I like that you used scientific support for your argument Deviancy; kudos. I don't think Darthclide has been around since January of last year. He slithered back under whatever rock he came out of not long after his posts on this issue.

I mean to do a new map at some point, that is based on the Bangor Map and my study of the book as the one in this thread is quite a bit off. Something is better than nothing, but a more accurate map would be better.

What is often overlooked or forgotten is that it is Stan "the Man" Uris who actually initiates the promise. He is the one that goes and gets the coke bottle they cut their palms with. This is because Stan is already thinking ahead, and I suspect already knew he would not return. I think Stan...

My wife Rachael and I would be happy to give some tours, insight, and have you come by to watch a King film in Derry. Just contact me privately when you will be around and we will work it out.

Great suggestion!

Mr. King, My wife and I saw your post on Twitter about how you rather be 71 than nothing. We answered there, but we wanted to answer here too! May you never find the clearing at the end of the path, or at the very least shoot for a 101! With you that means at least 60+ more of your books...

On an intellectual level and from the safety of dry land... yes. :)

Yes but even mildly suggesting her failure to lock down her private diary makes her complicit in Harold's anger is tantamount to telling someone who was raped that they shouldn't have worn such provocative clothing. Harold's anger is his own. He didn't need her diary to become bitter. He had...

What I'm saying is that NONE of Harold's breakdown or moral failures are Fran's fault. We are all shaped by the world around us, but Harold's background isn't that bad. Compared to Henry Bowers, Harold had it pretty good. :) I'm somewhat uncomfortable with the notion that ANY blame could be...

Hrm. I don't think I agree here. I don't think anyone misunderstands either Harold or Henry in the books. We get far too much insight directly into their minds, and we have a broad sample of their actions. It would be dangerous, I think, to assume motivations or different actions on their...

I cannot argue with opinion; everyone is entitled to their own. What I will say is that I don't consider most Stephen King's books to be horror. While there are often supernatural elements, monsters, and unsettling truths, the stories are about people at their most basic. His tales delve...

It was a pleasure meeting all of you. I look forward to the next one, even if I have to travel. :)

Ditto here. Please share the link. I'd love to get some in time for King Con to serve as breakfast for my guests.

Some stuff did happen. Don't forget that Victor and Belch both had to bail on Bowers early. There was trouble, serious trouble over Eddie. We just don't get the details. Of course you also have to take into account that while Bowers wasn't generally liked anymore than his father, Victor and...

While the taint that lays on Derry could certainly shoulder some of the blame, I think the most likely answer is that the 1950s are not the same as today. Children could do a lot to each other and it not result in assault charges. The behavior of the boys most certainly got them some stern...
